Other Upgraded Components with 3.0?

[ratherbskiing]

I'm wondering if there are other impacts or enhancements to components for builds with the 3.0.

For example, non-rubis with a 3.0 get a D44 up front. That's a pretty darn good upgrade for sport trims!

Might there be other inherent "upgraded" parts or systems due to the 3.0's weight and power? Especially for non-rubi trims. Perhaps larger brakes?

I'm hearing that the beefier suspension on the 3.0s provide a bit of a natural lift versus other engine choices within the same trim. Is this true?

Any thoughts or ideas?

That's a great point about the Dana 44 front axle. The diesel option is a bit pricey - $6,000 with the requisite automatic transmission. (If one were planning on getting the automatic anyway, then it's really "only" a $4,000 option.) But considering how much an axle swap costs, getting a Dana 44 front axle as part of that bundle makes the price of the diesel seem a bit less painful. I hadn't thought of that before for the non-Rubicon trim packages. That's a great value!
